Description

This subcommand creates an alias for a password. An alias is a token
of the form ${ALIAS=password-alias-password}. The password
corresponding to the alias name is stored in an encrypted form. The create-password-alias subcommand takes both a secure interactive form (in which the user
is prompted for all information) and a more script-friendly form, in which
the password is propagated on the command line.
